How much light do you want

Sheer, lined, or both at once.

Most of the drapery we hang in South Florida is two layers on one track: a sheer for the day, something heavier for the night. Drag the handle to see what each layer is for.

  • Sheer

    Movement and softness with almost no light lost. It hides the hard line of the window frame, blurs what is on the other side of the glass, and makes a big flat wall of glazing feel like a room.

  • Unlined drapery

    Real cloth with real weight, still passing light through the weave. Colour and texture on the wall, privacy after dark, and none of the heaviness of a lined panel.

  • Lined drapery

    A separate lining behind the face fabric. It holds the pleat properly, protects the fabric from our sun, cuts most of the light and noticeably quiets a hard-surfaced room.

  • Blackout lined

    A blackout lining plus enough width to overlap in the middle and return to the wall at each end. That overlap is the part people forget, and it is the difference between dim and dark.

What to get right

Cheap drapery gives itself away in the details.

You can tell a well-made panel from across the room without knowing why. It is these four things, and every one of them is decided before the fabric is cut.

  • Fullness

    A panel needs roughly two to two and a half times the width it covers to hang in proper folds. Skimp on fullness and the drape looks flat and rented no matter what the fabric cost.

  • Where the rod goes

    Mounting close to the ceiling and wider than the opening makes the window read taller and wider, and lets the panels stack off the glass so you do not lose the view.

  • The heading

    Ripplefold gives an even modern wave and stacks tight. Pinch pleat is more traditional and more structured. The heading sets the whole character before you pick a colour.

  • The track

    A motorized or hand-drawn track carries the weight and decides how quietly it moves. On a wide span this matters more than the fabric does.

Why Rollx

Anyone can hang a shade. Getting it right the first time is the job.

Fullness, heading, track and lining, specified per opening so the panels hang the way they were drawn.

  • Expert window treatment specialists

    Not a general contractor with a fabric book. Consultants who do this and only this, every day, across South Florida.

  • In stock installs in 2 to 3 days

    Stocked fabrics and mechanisms are measured, made and hung within days, not the eight weeks a custom-only shop quotes.

  • Free in-home estimate

    We measure in your light, against your floors and your walls. Colour decisions made on a showroom screen are the ones people regret.

  • Endless customizations

    Fabric, weave, openness, colour, hardware, cassette, motor and control. Every part of the specification is yours to set.

  • One stop design and build

    One team designs the treatment, makes it and installs it, so nobody can blame the other trade when something does not line up.

  • Made in the U.S.A.

    Fabrication happens here, which is why a remake or an adjustment takes days instead of a container ship.

  • Premium quality and luxury finishes

    The same specification we install for Armani, Prada and Tiffany goes into a three-window living room.

  • Family owned and operated

    Showrooms in Hollywood and Jupiter, owners who answer for the work, and a name that stays on the job.

How it goes

From the first measurement to the final reveal.

Four visits at most, and the same team the whole way through. Nobody hands you off.

  1. 01

    We measure

    A consultant comes to you, measures every opening and watches how the light actually moves through the room across the day.

  2. 02

    You choose

    Fabrics, weaves, colours and mechanisms in your own light, next to your own floors, with the price on the spot.

  3. 03

    We build

    Made to your measurements in our own workroom. In-stock fabrics are ready to hang in two to three days.

  4. 04

    We install

    Our installers hang, level and program every treatment, then walk you through the controls before they leave.

Tested and certified

The paperwork a building asks for.

Commercial jobs and condo boards ask what the fabric is rated to before they approve it. Ours carries the marks, which is why the same specification passes in a tower lobby and a bedroom.

Before you book

Drapery questions.

Ripplefold or pinch pleat?
Ripplefold gives an even, continuous wave, stacks tighter off the glass and reads modern, which suits most South Florida interiors. Pinch pleat is more structured and more traditional. We will show you both in your fabric before you choose.
How high should the rod go?
Usually as close to the ceiling as the structure allows, and wider than the window on both sides. It makes the room feel taller, and it lets the panels stack off the glass instead of covering the view you are paying to keep.
Can drapery go over shades I already have?
Yes, and it is one of the most common things we do. The shade handles heat, glare and privacy, the drapery handles softness and the finished look. We just need enough projection on the hardware to clear the existing headrail.
Do motorized tracks make noise?
A quality track is quiet enough that you notice the movement before the sound. Cheap track is not. On a bedroom or a media room the track is worth spending on, because it is the part you hear every day.
Will the sun destroy the fabric?
Unlined fabric in direct South Florida sun will fade eventually. That is exactly what lining is for, and it is why we ask which way the glass faces before recommending a face fabric.
How long does custom drapery take?
Longer than a stock roller shade, because it is cut and sewn to your measurements. Your consultant gives you a real date at the estimate. If part of the house needs covering sooner, we will often hang shades first and follow with the drapery.
Can you match a fabric I already have?
Bring us a sample or a photo. If the exact fabric is still made we will order it, and if it is not we will put the closest current options next to yours in your own light so you can judge the match yourself.

Still deciding? Talk it through with a consultant.
